Stripe Atlas review

Stripe Atlas forms a Delaware company, either a C corporation or an LLC, from inside a Stripe account. The price is a $500 one-time setup fee that Stripe says includes government fees and the first year of registered agent service, plus next-day expedited processing and the company tax ID. After year one, the registered agent costs $100 a year and renews automatically, which is lower than most US-focused services on this list. Stripe adds $2,500 in Stripe product credits, access to over $50,000 in partner discounts and a $500 bonus if you open a Stripe Treasury account within seven days, subject to its terms. The limits are about fit. Atlas forms in Delaware, so a founder running a local business in another state may also need to register there and pay that state's fees. It suits online businesses that will charge customers through Stripe; a local cleaning company or contractor is better served by a home state filing from Bizee or ZenBusiness.
